bash's syntax is different from the C-like languages, and bash's handling of complicated data structures leaves something to be desired. But it's an OK place to start to learn about programming concepts. I think you'd get confused by trying to learn two languages at once. > I think what it is saying is that the error is in line 28 character > 3.

This is one of many errors that beginning C programmers always run into. I know I ran into the same thing years ago. "man 3 exit" will tell you which include file exit() is defined in. "man 3 $FUNCTION" can provide a bunch of useful info about the C library function $FUNCTION , and many things not in the base C library also have man pages in section 3 which are really useful if you've forgotten any of the details. -- Matt G / Dances With Crows The Crow202 Blog: http://crow202.org/wordpress/ There is no Darkness in Eternity/But only Light too dim for us to see --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
